Best Sw Chicken Soup W Zucchini Corn Green Chiles Recipes

SOUTHWEST CHICKEN SKILLET WITH ZUCCHINI AND CORN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container (I use a jar) for several months.
• Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large skillet set over medium high heat and heat for 1 minute. Add chicken in a single layer (cook in batches if needed to avoid crowding the pan) and sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons of the spice mix.
• Cook for a few minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, stirring as needed. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
• Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and heat for 1 minute. Add zucchini and bell peppers and sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of the spice mix. Cook for a few minutes until vegetables have started to soften.
• Add garlic and corn and cook for a minute more.
• Return chicken to the skillet, add lime juice, and toss until combined. Top with chopped cilantro and cotija cheese and serve immediately.

GREEN CHILE, CHICKEN, AND CORN SOUP

Steps:

• Peel the onion and stud with the cloves. Combine the onion, broths, chicken and potato in a Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until the potato is tender.
• Remove the onion. Remove the chicken, reserving the broth in the pan. Let the chicken cool, bone it, and chop the meat. Return the chicken to the pan; set aside.
• Cut chiles in half lengthwis; remove seeds and membranes. Place chiles, skin side up, on an ungreased baking sheet; flatten with the palm of your hand. Broil 3 inches from the heat (with electric oven door partially opened) 6 minutes or until charred. Place chiles in ice water; peel and discard skins. Coarsely chop the chiles, and add to the reserved broth mixture.
• Stir in corn; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 4 minutes or until the corn is tender. Taste your soup, and add salt and pepper as needed (depends on the broth you originally used).
• Ladle soup into individual soup bowls. Top each serving with avocado slices and chopped tomato. Garnish, if desired with sour cream and fresh cilantro.

ZUCCHINI, CORN, AND GREEN CHILE SOUP

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken stock, if using homemade. Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan, and cook the onion over medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, zucchini, corn, chopped chiles, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the zucchini is tender, about to 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with lime wedges.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

EASY SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• Stir chicken broth, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, petite diced tomatoes, chicken, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper together in a large pot; bring to a simmer and cook until hot and flavors combine, about 20 minutes.

CHICKEN AND ZUCCHINI SOUP

Steps:

• Take the chicken breast off the roast chicken and put the chicken bones, wings and any other bits in a large microwave dish with the water and thyme. Cover and cook on high for 10 minutes.
• While that is cooking, start on the prep of the veg.
• Finely chop the onion and fry in the oil. Add a little salt to help season the veg as they are cooking.
• Cut the celery into strips lengthways and then chop into small cubes. Add to the onion.
• Peel and cube the carrot to about the same size as the celery. Add to the pot.
• Add crushed garlic.
• By this time the stock should be finished - unless you are particularly fast at veg prep!
• Strain the stock over the vegetables.
• Add the pasta shells or whatever pasta you happen to have.
• Slice the chicken breast and pick off any good bits of chicken from the drained bones. Add to the pot.
• Simmer for as long as it takes to cook the pasta - 13 minutes for my pasta shells.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Add more water if necessary. I needed to add a little more water after about 10 minutes.
• Add the zucchini/courgette in the last 5 minutes of cooking. Slice the zucchini lengthways. Cut into triangular pieces. I find cutting the zucchini this way helps keep them in one piece in a soup where they may get overcooked when the soup is reheated.
• Enjoy!

SOUTHWESTERN CHICKEN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the chicken in oil until lightly browned. Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker with a slotted spoon. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until chicken and vegetables are tender. Stir before serving.

CORN AND GREEN CHILE SOUP

Steps:

• Remove the kernels from the ears of corn and set aside.
• Place the 4 stripped corn cobs in 6 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, then remove.
• In a skillet, heat a few glugs of olive oil. Add the chopped scallions and green chiles and sauté. Add 1/4 cup cornmeal and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes.
• Add the scallion-and-chili mixture to broth along with the corn kernels and 2 chopped potatoes. Cook until soft. Garnish with crema or sour cream, if you'd like, and the sliced scallions.
